Keith B. Olasin
Senior Staff Engineer

Mr. Olasin possesses over 20 years of experience as a mechanical engineer, having built his professional career in the aerospace, biomedical, and telecommunications industries before joining MSI. His former employers included the Fortune 500 companies such as Allied Signal (now Honeywell), General Electric, and Lockheed Martin. Keith’s background has focused on mechanical analysis, and he is well versed in solving stress and vibration problems using the ANSYS Multiphysics and NASTRAN finite element software codes. His diverse industry experience also includes environmental, fatigue, and static-load testing, in addition to numerical analytical skills, and in addition Keith possesses practical knowledge of manufacturing processes.

Mr. Olasin has contributed to both commercial and military projects, which have included satellite primary and secondary structures, hip and spinal implants, advanced defensive munitions, and a variety of sophisticated electronics assemblies which were destined for land, air, and space based applications. Through these projects Keith has gained substantial experience using FEA to simulate random vibration, mechanical shock, heat transfer, and nonlinear phenomena such as plasticity and three dimensional (3D) contact. Keith also applies 3D solid modeling techniques (Pro/E and SolidWorks) and is experienced in the integration of analytical and test data to solve complex problems. The scope of his experience while at MSI has expanded to encompass hydrocode applications, and Keith has developed expertise in the testing / analysis of all types of rotating machinery.

Mr. Olasin earned the degree of Master of Engineering – Mechanical from Stevens Institute of Technology, and earned his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree from the New Jersey Institute of Technology. A long-standing member of the ASME, the SAE, and the AIAA professional societies, Keith in addition is a former Chair and Acting Treasurer of the North Jersey Section of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
